Every day, I’m discovering this more and more. As a multipotentialite (someone with multiple creative pursuits), I’ve found time management an ongoing hurdle to overcome.

We put so much money into building and managing our money, but how much do we really spend on managing our time? How could we better optimise and maximise our time to ensure that we’re progressing on the things we want to, and making time for the things most important to us? Continue reading →
